"How Many Flesh Tones Do You Need?" Topic

Well, I need three. But someone covering more of the globe and in larger scales would presumably need more.

I have three and a couple of washes, so I said five.

I don't have a single paint which is "flesh tone."
I do have light coral paint.
I have light tan paint.
I have light brown paint.
I have dark brown paint.
I have a muted pale green paint.
I have a pale gray paint, a dark gray paint, and several other shades of gray.
And I have red and yellow I can add to any of the above to achieve a tone I like.
But none of those colors are "flesh tone," nor do I only use them for flesh.
Besides, I primarily paint fantasy figures, which means the monsters can have any color "flesh" I want. (Hence the green and the gray in my list, for orcs, trolls, ogres, giants, zombies, ghouls, etc., etc..)

But no flesh tones. So "None."

I mix my own "flesh tones". I don't use already created ones, so I put "None".

I play multiple fantasy races, so I use a very wide range of base colors, from Titaneum White, to full Black, with many in between. I Dip/Magic Wash my figures, so I get a huge variation in shades… The scale stops at "More than 24," so that is what I chose as the most accurate choice. Cheers!

Drat. Parzival has a point. I'd forgotten assorted Orcs, Goblins and Gretchen in the SF and Fantasy boxes, so while I'm weak on East and South Asia and pre-Columbian America, I still need a European-descended, a Middle Eastern, an African descent and--what DOES one call the greenskins? Children of the Gamma Ray Bomb? But in every case, just a suitable basecoat and a wash, because the serious attention goes to the uniforms.

Need? None. I mix my own, as above.

Have? Does anybody actually have a bottle labeled "flesh tone"?

Use? At least two per figure. Sometimes more.

Have? Does anybody actually have a bottle labeled "flesh tone"? Yes, three of a Foundry triad but I tend to use two.

Yes, three of a Foundry triad

Does it specify which animal flesh the colour is?

Need ? 5, have? 10

Need? One (with the caveat that you then need about 10 different types of wash) – have, 10

3
1 Europe
1 Africa
1 Far East
Mix everything off that.
Cheers
